Well, it's finally starting to feel like Fall around here---and I really cannot believe it's almost time for Turkeys and Pilgrims and sweet potato casserole!
I just replaced my spider on the door with a turkey wreath...and in celebration of our changing decorations, we're going to make some cupcakes to match!
I have a few different designs to share...I love them all! Mix and match or choose one to make all your own.
First on the list--- Acorn cupcakes!
Keep that softened caramel close by....you'll need them for these cute turkeys!!
Now....moving along to some cute sugar cookie leaf toppers! The glaze that I used is simply powdered sugar with water mixed in until you've reached the desired consistency. I like a glaze that is just thin enough to easily paint on with a paint brush. I also like to mix in a little light corn syrup for extra shine. There's not a whole lot of explaining to do here. Just swirl your colors together a bit as you paint. The glaze dries firm. Adorable as cake and cupcake toppers, or just by themselves!
And finally....let's take a look at what we've made!! Ahhhh, I love Fall. I hope you enjoyed these!
Members: I made a quick little video of my turkey cupcake above, for any of you who aren't quite as familiar with using the petal tip. I will add it tonight!
Finally, I was out of town for several days last week and haven't had a chance to announce our newest cake friends!

So I need as much practice as I can in all things decorating and your site has been so awesome and helpful! You are mega talented! Please keep up the good work and ideas coming!

Hi,
I first thought that the acorn top was a candy kiss but it wasn't, to my surprise. How clever of you!
My goal is to try the tilted cake that I am fascinated with but that is way down the line of learning your techniques.
I have always had the love of learning different techniques of decorating cupcakes and cookies.
Thank You
Pandora :O)
You're brilliant! Thanks so much.
hi! your tutorial cake decorations are really nice and interesting to watch i would like to thank u for posting that...will try to follow it too...thanks for sharing...
Cute fall cupcakes. The acorn is adorable. But to save some time maybe a Hersheys kiss would work.
